Good Hope Chardonnay - Danie de Wet

The elegant Good Hope Chardonnay from Danie de Wet flows into the glass with a bright golden yellow color. The first nose of Good Hope Chardonnay shows notes of pomelo, mangoes and lemongrass. The fruity components of the bouquet are joined by more fruity-balsamic nuances.

This white from Danie de Wet is perfect for all wine enthusiasts who like it dry. However, it never shows itself to be meager or brittle, which is absolutely not a matter of course for a wine in the entry-level range. Due to its concise fruit acidity, the Good Hope Chardonnay presents itself as fantastically fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this youthful white wine from the Breede River Valley wine-growing region finally inspires with good length. Once again, hints of pineapple and lime appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by clay and limestone are added.
